The thrill of taking in a bag of ingredients and leaving an hour and a half later with a tasty meal gave her a sense of achievement she hadn’t felt before – and this is how she fell in love with cooking. Many people ask her where her middle-eastern influences come from. Having had many opportunities to travel both growing up and with her career, she developed a love of interesting and exotic tastes, particularly during trips to Israel, Egypt and Morocco. This, combined with her mother-in-law’s family’s north African roots, inspired her passion for middle eastern spices and flavours. As a die-hard Masterchef fan, Emma has often had fleeting thoughts about entering, but it took years of dinner parties and friends and family persuading her that spurred me her. Emma is available to cater for private dinner parties, menu consulting, running cookery seminars and speaking at events.
